Question:
Shaykh, is the prayer excused for a sick person who cannot move or perform wudu? And how is such a person to be treated?

Answer:
The ablution is performed on his behalf; he is given the ablution or performs dry ablution with dust and prays according to his condition. He is reminded of the prayer and prays according to his condition, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
Yes.
